Each Ipo block (actions, objects, etc) stores the last view
of the ipo window. Nice for selecting objects/bones and then getting
the previous view back.
When you use option "Lock time to other windows", this option is very
annoying; the action window then shifts all channels around, almost as
if this is a bug.
Up/Down buttons which are disabled are now always drawn, but those that are disabled (cannot be done) now have their 'button backgrounds' not drawn. Also, they won't do anything when clicked.
This commit introduces the ability to give groups of bones different colour-sets, which enables them to be more easily identified in the 3d-view. Currently, custom bone colours have been implemented as a way to visualise bone-group membership (after all, colours and groups are both just ways of managing bones).
Usage Notes:
* Each theme currently has 20 Color-Sets available for Bones.
These can be accessed from the "Bone Color Sets" option under the Theme buttons. (Note: currently, I haven't defined any default colour-sets. Donations welcome on this ;-) ) As such, colour sets are not saved per file! You will need to save the theme to preserve the color set for the next session.
* Each Bone-Group can use any one of these 20 sets, or just use the default colour-set.
Use the "GroupCol" button to set this. When a set has been chosen, three little rectangles are drawn beside the button to preview the colours the set provides.
* A bone must belong to a Bone-Group to get that group's colours.
* "Colors" toggle on "Armature" panel must be enabled for these custom-colours to be shown for all bones that can have them.
This toggle is off by default, but is there to allow rigs to be debugged (by colours) for example.
* The "Use 'Constraint' Colouring" option (per Colour Set), determines whether the colours denoting presences of constraints, ik, or keyframes are drawn in conjunction with the custom colours. It is off by default, as in many combinations, they look quite ugly when used in conjunction with custom colours.
* Custom colours are only shown in PoseMode
Assorted Notes:
* I've tested this thoroughly, and there shouldn't be any problems caused by this.
* In the process, I found a bug with envelope bone drawmode. In wire-frame mode, all bones got scaled up by several types.
* I've cleaned up the armature drawing code a bit (mostly fixing messy white-space usage), but also creating a centralised method of setting colours for bones (currently only used for bones in PoseMode).
The 'Determinator' input didn't work at all - there was some quite weird code in there. I think the patch review process could have been quite a bit better on this one.
New Stuff:
* When in PoseMode, the Ctrl-G hotkey now presents a menu with options for manipulating Bone Groups. There are options to add/remove all selected bones from a certain group.
TODO - add appropriate entries to menus
Bugfixes:
* Renaming Bone-Groups in the buttons panel could cause segfaults or memory corruption. Wrong maximum-length for button used here (it's far too easy to miss).
* In the Action Editor, (re)grouping channels didn't take into account whether a group was expanded or not. This meant that selected channels from inside a collapsed group got added to the new group too.
Also, duplis are now taking into account, the proper way to exclude
them is to set the material to be not traceable.
Removed an unnecessary pointer from the VlakRen struct to save some
memory, not really that significant, but still, saves 70 mb for 10
million faces.
Especially for fast moving objects (as we have here in Peach) the
art department demanded nice curved vector blur. This formula uses
a quadratic bezier function, which is not giving perfect circles, but
certainly useful results.
Also on todo: get this blur code to do nicer accumulation...
- Particle system distribution wasn't flushed properly for non-edited hair.
- For instances in the renderer, also count their verts and faces in the stats.
- Fix for error in the "surface diffuse" formula for strand shading.
Now, when inserting keyframes (either IKEY or AutoKeying), if an ActionChannel has been newly created, it will get assigned to an Action-Group with the same name as the Bone-Group that the bone it represents belongs to.
Now, the Limit Rotation Constraint can be made to work on the Transform values like the Limit Location/Rotation constraints. Use the "For Transform" button to activate.
Note: this does not really work as well as for the other constraints, as it currently does conversions between eulers/quats and matrices. This results in loss of rotation data.
Basically, this is based on the behaviour of the unique_constraint_name (or equivilant) functions, which have traditionally been duplicated everytime a new datatype needed this.
Currently, this is in use for the following things:
* Constraints
* Action/Bone Groups
* Local Action Markers / PoseLib poses
Usage Notes:
* The file in which this is to be used should include the standard header file <stddef.h>. This defines the offsetof() macro, which should be used to find the relative location of the "name" member of the structs
* This function is only designed for names of up to 128 chars in length (Most names are at most 32. TimeMarkers are 64). If a longer string needs to be handled, the function will need to be modified accordingly.
* defname is the default name that should be used in case one hasn't been specified already
Snapping Mode: Active
With this mode, the active element (at this time, object or vertice) is used as snapping target. If there is no active element in the selection, it reverts back to median mode.
Edit Mode snapping, other meshes no longer have to be selected to act as snapping point.
Fix a potential bug with snapping point from other meshes.
that is : good enough to pass PQC = personal qualitiy control
*sigh*
before peach freeze
some of them almost did ..
but hey we want to give 'em peachers something to rely on
not a mushy "may be it works"
so 'implicit solver' is gone for now
and from what i read between the lines in various papers
the main problem is the Jacobian has negative 'eigenvalues'
yeah that rings a bell .. the transition from a continuous system to a discrete one
bears that.
/* you did not read/understand that .. fine .. because this is something that might give me my late PhD */
This fixes:
[#7989] Sequence editor preview and anim render output broken on Linux PPC
and also optimizes RGBA -> ABGR conversion function a little bit.
(Fixing also a crash, if there is no ibuf->rect available...)
Removed FTYPE from render output panel - was some old format that did index colors, and wasn't even used anywhere.
Added 2 options to the render output panel that can be used for a really basic local renderfarm (even artists can use it!),
"NoOverwrite" and "Touch"
When both are enabled, rendering 1 scene between many pc's on a fast network will populate the directory with frames.
Also useful to delete frames that have errors and re-render (without manually re-rendering each frame)
- non OSA case didn't work
- ztransp adding was accidentally using an incorrect alpha value
NOTE: allmost all pass types rendered in OSA with a filter (not box!) were
incorrectly added on solid layers. Like diffuse, AO, etc.
drawing strips was setting the depth that would then incorrectly overlap when used with metastrips. - so metastrisp would grow when moved - showed up in peach animatic.
Now metastrips draw display differently- only immediate children are shown on the strip.
Also disabled overlap checking during transform for non zero depth strips since its not needed.
